2007 Alfa Romeo GT 1.9L Diesel · SL57 PBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the records reveal a history of significant structural corrosion and reactive maintenance. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 160,494 miles was a pass, it noted a repair to the nearside integral body structure outer sill. The trend shows an improving state following a major failure in March 2023 where structural integrity was flagged. However, the presence of structural repairs indicates that the vehicle has suffered from advanced rust issues that require ongoing monitoring rather than just preventative care. At 160,494 miles, this Alfa Romeo has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year over its nineteen-year life, which is consistent with typical UK usage. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between April 2023 and April 2024, and another 2,300 miles leading to the most recent test. This steady accumulation suggests the car is driven regularly, but the high cumulative mileage places significant stress on rubber components and metal brackets that have already shown signs of advanced decay. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the sills and suspension mounting points. The 2023 and 2024 failures for excessive corrosion on the nearside rear suspension mounting area prove that this chassis is prone to structural rot. You should check for bubbling paint or fresh welding around the repaired outer sill. Additionally, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in 2024, and the exhaust flexi-pipe has a history of leaking; these components require close scrutiny. The recurring history of tyre damage and sidewall cuts in 2023 also suggests previous owners neglected basic consumable maintenance until an MOT failure was imminent.
